Hi, I would like to detect whether the 'e' key is pressed every time I click on an NSView. If the view is already the firstResponder, I can quite memorize that key pressed when keyDown and reuse it when mouseDown. Then I erase it when keyUp. But if the user presses the 'e' key when the firstResponder is on another view, then he clicks on my view, I cannot detect that the 'e' is still pressed. I have been trying to detect the key already pressed subclassing becomeFirstResponder but I get nothing. Any idea?
- (BOOL)becomeFirstResponder { unsigned int eventMask = NSKeyDownMask; NSEvent *theEvent = [[self window] nextEventMatchingMask:eventMask untilDate:nil inMode:NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode dequeue:YES]; NSEventType eventType = [theEvent type]; if(eventType == NSKeyDown){ mCharCurrentlyPressed = [[theEvent charactersIgnoringModifiers] characterAtIndex:0]; NSLog(@"becomeFirstResponder %c", mCharCurrentlyPressed ); } return YES; } Best Regards -- LL _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
